[Note: see arguments against the following answer below]
"No. A person's IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a measure of their ability to solve logical problems and recognize visual-spatial relationships. In general, answering more questions correctly corresponds to a higher IQ, less correct answers mean a lower IQ, but even a person who answered no questions at all, or answered every question incorrectly, would still only be able to score as low as zero." -El Gordo
The above is actually completely wrong. The IQ system is set up as a standard distribution (bell curve) with 100 as the mean score, and a standard deviation of 15. To be negative you would have to be 6.7 standard deviations below the mean. This would be a profound state of mental retardation not necessarily recognizable on an IQ test, but then again once you reach a certain level of mental handicap (well above 0) you wouldn't be functional enough to understand the test at all. Nonetheless just because a special test would be required does not mean that you can't actually have a negative IQ, just as somebody with a super high IQ over 200 wouldn't be measurable by a standard test.
I initially wrote an answer disagreeing with the first response (that a negative IQ is impossible) and agreeing with the second. Theoretically, the IQ test could be designed so that if one scores enough standard deviations below the mean, their IQ would be negative. But I talked with my statistics professor today, who said that an IQ test's scores are fixed so that no one really will come up with a negative score. In other words, the researchers ensure that that won't happen.

if your IQ is 150, surely you should know
No, not at all. If your IQ measures 112, you are in the "bright" area of the normal range.
The average IQ for an adult is c. 100.
yes,it is possible to have an IQ that high because there is no IQ cap.
Not only is it possible, but many people have the same IQ.
you can have a negative IQ. say it is used SD100 and your IQ is 0, that means that 16% of people are duber than you. say it is used SD1 and your IQ is 98, that means that 2% of people are dumber than you.
Yes an IQ of 183 is possible. The first question that comes into your mind is How is this possible?I have seen somebody with an IQ of 180, that happened in the year 2007. And i assure you that there must be someone who's IQ is higher than that of his. So i am really sure that getting an IQ of 183 or even higher is possible.
It is not possible to have an IQ of -1.0
negative infinity
negative infinity
An average womens IQ is 100, if your wondering about her common sense IQ, it must be close to negative 20.
In theory, yes - but it would be extremely difficult to prove an IQ of 0.
The standard IQ tests are calibrated with Elizabeth vos Savant (supposedly the smartest person alive) at 200 and no score above that is possible with these tests. Therefor a IQ of 218 is not possible.
It is difficult to do so. The IQ does not change much over time.
yes there was once a person who had a IQ of 200 and he could read peoples thoughts.
